Statistically, Sarah was the most successful 2nd place contestant in terms of task scoring percentage - but she lost only to Dara (compatative dad) who had the best ever. Sarah could have won any other series with that percentage. She played the game so well, and she brought so much joy and fun to the series, even taking on Greg a number of times. She's a national treasure!
How could you not include Sarah finding the 'hidden' task beneath the table, only to find out it just said 'Hello, Sarah!' in Episode 9? THAT was one of the best bits in the entire series!!
If I remember rightly, he put a tweet out on the day of broadcast saying something along the lines of "Taskmaster wasn't particularly interesting that night and maybe people would rather watch something else"
I think this series, 13 and 16 are my favourites, when I started watching the taskmaster I thought that "the funny people will end eventually" but it just keeps being better and better
Sarah definitely deserves a second compilation - Her happy face finding the leaf blower - She shrugging then mouthing "Sorry" during the feather task (they can't speak) as a follow-up of the milk task in this video - A collection of she laughing (simple as this)
Loved all her interactions with Munya, from the PS5 bit, the sculpture task with her balayage hair, calling Munya her bairn, the fish & bird paint drip task, her handling of Munya's hips... Easily one of the loveliest and funniest teams in TM history
When Sarah asked what a PS5 was and after learning, said“ah yes, for children” just makes me think of Phill Jupitus saying “only the shiniest ones” One of my favorite contestants
@@erinadams7556 that was on QI. I do wish he would participate but he has said before he only does QI now because he loves the format, if it wasnt for that he wouldnt do panel shows at all.
I hope TM will eventually do a tribute video of all of the one-minute plays. Sarah's play that she wrote, acted by Fern, was a masterpiece. It was beautifully written and acted.
Genuinely made me tear up seeing how difficult it was for her to see herself singing after being torn down. Power we have to hurt people or lift them up is in our own and each other’s hands. Choose carefully who you hand that power to and don’t be someone who tears others down.
And for as mean as Greg can seem sometimes (even though it’s all in good fun), I genuinely loved him so much when he said “Fuck you, ex-partner.” Really bold move for Sarah to then bring in that book about how to be more likable, suggesting Greg may want it.
Two of my favorite bits from Sarah both are during the sand-in-a-grocery-cart task. 1. Where she calls out Alex's poor wording for both teams doing a conga line ("...Maybe it means the task wasn't well written"). [Of course that results in Munya's great pun divide-and-conga.] 2. And when right before Alex reveals the weight of the other team's cart, Greg asks "How you feeling?". Munya responds "Hopeful" and Sarah simply responds "I'll wait 'til you finish the rest of the sentence." idk her delivery is so good
I always thought of Sarah as the great friend you had growing up. Now as adults you don't see each other often, but when you visit with her you appreciate life more.
Sarah doesn't have kids, and yet she was paired with the most boy-energy ever on TM in the form of Munya. She even refers to him as a "Bairn" (Northern slang for child), and cracks jokes about his PS5.
Series 14 really is my favourite series when all is said and done (apologies to my former favourite, Series 5). Everything was operating at their peak, and Sarah was particularly delightful. I've been anticipating her to be a contestant on the series for years and she did not disappoint, and it's clear that in most series she would've dominated. She had the bad luck to be up against Dara, who seems to have been built in a lab specifically to win Taskmaster, but Sarah had some brilliant lateral thinking and if only a few tasks had broken differently, she'd be considered the #1 contestant of all time points-wise.
Better than any single contestant was Sarah and Munya as a duo - I know his bravado is all tongue in cheek, but the way she just deflates him every time in the studio is hillarious.
It's hard to pick a favorite line up, because most have honestly been wonderful and funny and wholesome. But if pressed, this would definitely be up there among a handful that would be impossible for me to chose from.
It’s only just occurred to me that the ‘Lab Milk Incident’ actually made an appearance in Series 13. In the final episode of the series ‘The House Queens’, Judi Love said ‘What is that smell!’ when she walked into the lab to do a ‘liquid identification’ task.
@@mauritsponnette Sometimes the filming of one series takes place at the same time as another one, but yeah I think in Judi's case it was just the smell of the liquids
Sarah Millican is what we here in Canada would call " an Ivory girl" (ivory is a soap made for babies) She is all pure natural, not loaded up with makeup and weird colored hair etc. Her laugh is real, never faked, everything comes from her heart, not a mean bone in her body. She never talks herself up, to make herself better than anyone else. She would be one I would call a true friend. The World would be a nicer place if there were more Sarah Millican's around.
I would love to see a Taskmaster second chance series or special for those contestants who were fantastic but just were edged out by someone else like Sarah was. A fantastic comedian and contestant but unfortunately in a tough two horse race.
It's amazing how despite the fact that Dara was so dominant this series, it was still a nailbiter to the finale because Sarah was an extremely close second, and I believe in terms of points she accumulated more than any other player in TM history *except* for Dara (someone check Jack Bernhardt's stats to confirm).
@@stephendavis6267 correct, the top 5 best performers going by average score are the winners and runner-ups of series 14, 13 and 12 in that order (Dara, Sarah, Sophie, Chris, Morgana, Guz). S15 and I think 16 (so far) have been pretty low-scoring in comparison so that's not made an impact but it does highlight that Greg has been giving more points over time (S6 was also very high-scoring, but a part of that is due to having the most tasks.) Not to say the contestants at the top weren't very good at the game though; another fun fact about Sarah: she did not come last in a task (discounting 0s or DQs) until episode 9, in which she got 1 point for the self-portrait task. The previous record holder was Joe Lycett, who scored 1 for the first (and in fact only) time in the cling film live task, which is very ironic given his line "I think you're fucked, Noel!" preceding it.
At first I was in schok with Sarah's and Munya pairing but then I FELL in love with this chaotic duo, couldn't ahve more of it. Srah overall is the winner. Really the Dara who is doppelganger of ed gamble ahahah anyhow love you Sarah !

Sarah was a great contestant and her ex-partner shouldn’t have been cruel about her singing but it’s O.K. to not be good at everything and Greg shouldn’t have given her so many pity points for her song.
So even when she is assumed to have been clever she was only vulgar, as most of the time when she tries to be funny. To me, her name in one line with "best" simply is a contradictio in adiecto.
What is it about comedy videos on youtube that makes people come into the comments to complain about how much they don't like that comedian? Is this your hobby?
I just love how everyone wants to tell Sarah she's brilliant and that her singing was lovely.
Statistically, Sarah was the most successful 2nd place contestant in terms of task scoring percentage - but she lost only to Dara (compatative dad) who had the best ever. Sarah could have won any other series with that percentage. She played the game so well, and she brought so much joy and fun to the series, even taking on Greg a number of times.

If I remember rightly, he put a tweet out on the day of broadcast saying something along the lines of "Taskmaster wasn't particularly interesting that night and maybe people would rather watch something else"
I'm always going to love "Fuck you ex-partner."
Greg looked genuinely distraught when she said that because it is just such a mean way to put it 😢
Series 14 is a strong contender for my favorite lineup. I swear every one of these guys managed to have me in hysterics at least once an episode
I might be as staunch a season 7 fan as there is, but I think there's a great argument for season 14 being as good or better.
I’ve always held strong that series 4 had the best lineup but 14 has me seriously questioning that
I think this series, 13 and 16 are my favourites, when I started watching the taskmaster I thought that "the funny people will end eventually" but it just keeps being better and better
The only thing missing is the "honk" sound she can imitate. 😂
We need a master cut Ed Gamble, Jessica Knappett, Sarah Millican articulating horn sounds.
@@MinekEzQM TM, please make this happen!
Sarah definitely deserves a second compilation

“i can’t see my pockets because of me tits” is still one of the most iconic quotes in the whole show XD
The most relatable imo
@@allictexactly!
I wish they included Fern performing Sarah's script, because I thought she wrote the best play out of the 5 for that task.
When Sarah asked what a PS5 was and after learning, said“ah yes, for children” just makes me think of Phill Jupitus saying “only the shiniest ones”

I wish Sarah's voice was an option for Google assistant. I love it so much.
I hope TM will eventually do a tribute video of all of the one-minute plays. Sarah's play that she wrote, acted by Fern, was a masterpiece. It was beautifully written and acted.
We need a vid that’s just Sarah and Fern laughing
Yes!

The look on Munya's (?) face when Sarah apologised for accidental farts was a classic
Just for the ones that were accidental, tho lol

Don't forget her "cha cha" and her "handling" of Munya's hips.
The best Sarah clip is when she found the task attached to the end of the desk that was just for her!
starting off with the genius of the hand task was a good idea
I have only seen clips from this series, but oh my GOD those clips did not do Sarah justice! She is such a delight! Absolutely hilarious woman :)
Well, I’ve never cried whilst watching taskmaster before but I supposed there’s a first for everything. We love you Sarah! And your singing!
The ultimate "mum of the cast", love sarah
I was gonna say Liza but her energy is more that of a cool aunt

S5, S7, and S14 are clear favorites for me, I will happily rewatch them over & over!
I have a deep love for Sarah millican. I have watched her stand up so much and I just love her
Better than any single contestant was Sarah and Munya as a duo - I know his bravado is all tongue in cheek, but the way she just deflates him every time in the studio is hillarious.
“You’re too confident! I need to be paired with someone more meek” gets me every time
"I see greenery and some... brownery" 😂 How poetic!
I thinks Sarah would say her best bits aren't allowed on youtube.
💀 😂
You mean her “claggy” bits?
The definition of infectious. Sarah was a fantastic contestant! 💞
Her personality plus that hearty laugh
What a genius with the hand, without knowing anything in advance!
It's hard to pick a favorite line up, because most have honestly been wonderful and funny and wholesome. But if pressed, this would definitely be up there among a handful that would be impossible for me to chose from.
Sarah Millican is right up there with Liza Tarbuck as one of the best contestants over all seasons
I would happily watch a compilation of every interaction between Sarah and Greg this series, the way they crack each other up.
Sarah is such a delight
She took the "look under the table" advice too literally. It just means "Look around the room in general.".
It’s only just occurred to me that the ‘Lab Milk Incident’ actually made an appearance in Series 13. In the final episode of the series ‘The House Queens’, Judi Love said ‘What is that smell!’ when she walked into the lab to do a ‘liquid identification’ task.
That's foreshadowing what's going to happen then, because Sarah doesn't spill the milk until series 14.

Only one of the best, wittiest, most clever contestants this show has ever seen.
Not in one clip do we hear her honk, great sadness
